Why inspectors look for alternatives
- Per-seat pricing that punishes growing teams instead of rewarding them.
- Vendor branding showing up inside reports clients paid the inspector for.
- Workflows built for feature breadth, not for finishing a report fast on-site.
- Uncertainty about switching platforms later and losing years of templates and data.

Is PlainFindings trying to replace Spectora feature-for-feature?
No. Spectora has spent years building scheduling, CRM, and marketing tools most solo and small-team inspectors don't use daily. PlainFindings does one thing — get a professional report in front of a client — without the bloat or the per-seat pricing.
What if I need scheduling or CRM features later?
Keep using whatever you already use for that — a calendar app, your phone. PlainFindings isn't trying to be your whole business, just your report writer.
Can I actually leave if I switch and don't like it?
Yes. One-click export of every template, comment, and report — as JSON and PDFs — whenever you want. No lock-in was a hard requirement from day one.
Is this actually cheaper for a solo inspector, not just a team?
Yes — $39/month flat beats Spectora's $109/month base price even for a single inspector, before any per-seat add-ons.
